GEORGE TOWN: The statement by National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan to re-introduce a travel ban for PTPTN loan defaulters was a misunderstanding, says the Education Ministry.

“Did he say that?” Education minister Dr Maszlee Malik asked newsmen when met at the SJKT Sungai Ara here Friday .

Maszlee said the PTPTN chairman was responding to a question by newsmen, and it was the responsibility of the agency responsible to clarify the misunderstanding. Anwar said defaulters should be given some space as many did not have secure jobs and should not be pressured. “Wan Saiful should be reminded that the PTPTN issue was a ‘rallying cry’ for Pakatan Harapan youth in GE14, where we galvanised the youth nationwide for a new formula for PTPTN,” said Afif in a statement.
